You have got to be kidding me! I thought this was a joke until your later posts. First, we did not “evolve from apes” as you think. The fact that you use evolve as a verb proves you don’t understand the subject. These are not the same scientists who came up with evolution. Evolution has been proposed and accepted by the scientific community for over a century. The recent climategate scientists are from the modern era and specialize on the climate, not biology.
This is what I was afraid of. Because these scientists really messed up, now the general public thinks all scientists make up data and conclusions. So now when faced with a scientific conclusion, instead of coming up with alternative evidence to disprove, people will criticize the conclusion without evidence. One of the biggest arguments against evolution is it is too complicated. That is an opinion, and you must support that with evidence, and not evidence proving it’s complex, but evidence proving something that is complex can’t work. If you don’t believe a scientific theory, then get off your couch, and do some scientific research yourself. I am not saying that you have to believe the entire theory, but to say that natural selection has no effect on life or doesn’t exist has no evidence to back it up. And if anyone says, well it’s only a “theory”, please note the difference between a theory and a scientific theory.
Now back on topic. The only silver lining is the debate on climate change is on again and we may be able to get more conclusive data and accurate depictions on what is happening. But inside that silver lining is the rest of the population outside the scientific community that no longer believes or trusts scientific research and we will enter an embarrassing age of de-lightenment.
To get this thing going, I will start. The moon landings were faked, there are only three dimensions, the universe is filled with aether, you can make gold out of wind and fire, the world is flat, humans used to ride unicorns to escape from dinosaurs, and the sun is powered by ferries and pixies.
